Oh I second that brother.
I live in fear that one of my customers will discover where I live and see how uninspired and often neglected the landscaping is.
Just for fun I will throw this tip out there for those who don't know.
Nearly every day I stop by Starbucks and get a huge bag of USED coffee grounds FREE!!.
I like that it is sort of recycling or repurposing something that would just end up in the dump otherwise.
Not only does it smell awesome in my truck but it has applications in the gardening and lawn care world. Some blooming bushes like azaleas love it.
I have seen a remarkable change in lawn color when someone sprayed a solution of old coffee grounds and water. Some of my customers mix it in a compost mix. It ofcourse depends if your soil needs to be more acidic or not so as they say on TV commercials...results may vary.
Snails and slugs are repelled by it and there are other suggestions as well:
